Notice to all colleges and training providers, training companies, candidates, and MCA examiners
This notice replaces MIN 435
This MIN expires March 2027
The MCA is committed to supporting candidates with dyslexia, or other neurodiversity, and promoting inclusivity. An inclusive approach anticipates the varied requirements of examination candidates and ensures they are not disadvantaged. This considers up to date guidance from the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) while maintaining compliance with STCW requirements. This is in line with our public sector equality duty, which is a duty on public authorities to consider or think about how their policies or decisions affect people who are protected under the Equality Act 2010.
